How to manage the square from Jupiter to Saturn, 2024-2025

We might look at Jupiter and Saturn as the two planets which help us to interact with the outer world. Unlike the other planets which describe the inner personality, Jupiter and Saturn describe the way we reach for the future with our hopes and dreams (Jupiter) and begin to master the material world (Saturn). Jupiter helps us to craft theologies and beliefs that help to give our life meaning and gives us the confidence to venture into the future; Saturn reminds us that hard work and adversity is the way to build […]

Sunday Inspiration to handle Mars this week

art by Mario Duguay

Mars is finishing up his round in Pisces, having just transited Neptune where Mars has great difficulty in finding the higher virtues of his aggressive tendencies. In compassionate and transcendent Pisces, Mars needs and desires can become sublimated and pop up at inconvenient times, especially when Neptune is involved. And of course Mercury is retrograde, having just moved back into Taurus where we can become stuck when we need to adjust under the retrograde call for revision.

Mars enters Aries on Wednesday […]

Bring on the fire with the Aries New Moon: March 24, 2020

We have had a dearth of the fire element for quite a few months now. Mars, the fire planet, was in the sign of Sagittarius in mid-January, but a stellium of planets in earthy Capricorn acted as a blanket to dampen the fire energy. In practical terms, when there is adequate representation of the fire element among the planets, it becomes easier to access the motivation and inspiration of fire. We have instead been under the influence of earth primarily, which is practical and good for creating structures and plans, especially […]

We are in the midst of a very active planetary environment right now. Mercury has just turned direct after a retrograde period, and Uranus and Pluto are still creating tension that will require us to let go to the force of irrefutable change. Mars aligns with Jupiter today, evoking a burst of energy and activity that will help us to break free of any delays imposed by Mercury’s retrograde passage. The watery grand trine (see the sidebar for a link to more information) is in […]

Barack Obama releases birth certificate (again)

Astrologers are always hunting for birth information, so we were the first ones on the trail of Barack Obama’s birth certificate. Not that we believed he might be from Kenya, but we wanted to be able to construct an accurate birthchart. You can read the thread of my articles on the subject here along with my astrological profiles of the President.

At the moment Mars and Jupiter are moving into a conjunction that will culminate just after midnight (EDT) on Sunday May 1st, and […]

The End of Tony Blair

With Gemini rising (an appearance of flexibility and adaptability) and a twelfth house Sun (showing an individual who prefers his real agenda to remain hidden), it’s no wonder that Tony Blair has been under criticism throughout his career for dishonesty, excessive “spin” and a lack of integrity in his lifestyle choices. The appellation “Tony Blur” that has often been given to him expresses the confusion and delusion that often results when the Sun finds itself in the twelfth house of that which is hidden. (See Astrodatabank for birthchart.)

In Blair’s college days he modeled himself after Mick Jagger, and his […]

The astrology of David Blaine

“I believe that fear of life brings a greater fear of death. “
David Blaine

What makes someone want to suspend themselves in a plexiglass box over the Thames and fast for 44 days? What inspires a person to spend 61 hours encased in ice, or stand on a platform on top of a 100 foot pole for 35 hours? As someone for whom the adrenaline rush is a terrifying thing, I had to find out.

David Blaine (chart) is an Aries, and therefore ruled by the […]
